Podcast Introduction: Tackling Amateur Mindsets
00:00:53
Speaker
Warning.
00:00:54
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:00:59
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, attention whores, ignoramuses, dolts, clods, ninrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
00:01:16
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:18
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:20
Speaker
It's amateur nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:23
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:27
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:29
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:31
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:33
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners or social skills and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:01:47
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:01:47
Speaker
Oh, hi, Lou.
00:01:48
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:01:50
Speaker
Instead of acting like sheep, you should find out for yourself.
00:01:53
Speaker
Yeah, you know, critical thinking, the arch nemesis of Amateur Nation.
Episode 222 Highlights and Critiques
00:01:58
Speaker
This is episode 222.
00:01:59
Speaker
The common sense is going to be so far up your fucking ass, it's going to dangle out your fucking nose.
00:02:05
Speaker
Fans first, and this is a first.
00:02:08
Speaker
Shout out to Joe Molnar, formerly of Elyria, Ohio, and now in Wisconsin, who led me to one of the three pro things you will hear later in this episode.
00:02:18
Speaker
So stick around.
00:02:20
Speaker
And your post of the week by unknown.
00:02:22
Speaker
I tried to find the person who sent this or posted it, but there was no credit for it.
00:02:28
Speaker
It's very simple.
00:02:29
Speaker
It says, a man who lacks purpose distracts himself with pleasure.
00:02:35
Speaker
See, anyone hell-bent on listing their pronouns or sexual preference and or identity.
00:02:41
Speaker
As I've said before, if your pronouns and sexuality are the most interesting things about you, you're an amateur.
00:02:48
Speaker
And is it me, or does this show have great production value?
00:02:52
Speaker
I listen to so many podcasts where the second that you hit play, it starts like this.
00:02:58
Speaker
Hello there, and welcome to the Pickleball Podcast, where we talk about all things pickleball and, you know, sometimes other things in life.
00:03:13
Speaker
Right?
00:03:14
Speaker
And that's how they talk.
00:03:16
Speaker
That's how they put this out there for people to listen to.
00:03:20
Speaker
Joe, I'm your host.
00:03:23
Speaker
Hope you're having a good day.
00:03:25
Speaker
And lots going on today.
00:03:27
Speaker
And so today, snore.
00:03:30
Speaker
How these podcasts even have one listener and make it past two episodes is beyond me.
00:03:35
Speaker
They think that winging it and talking off the cuff gets it done and is interesting and it's natural.
00:03:43
Speaker
This show is where common sense lives and is served up with plenty of bite, funny, and here's a novel idea, showmanship.
00:03:52
Speaker
So text one person you know, hey, listen to this guy, and send a copy of the episode link, please.
00:03:58
Speaker
And I thank you.
00:03:59
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:04:01
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:04:03
Speaker
Topic number one.
Brand Inclusivity and Personal Views
00:04:05
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Trans Crap.
00:04:08
Speaker
First up, you guessed it, Dylan Mulvaney.
00:04:11
Speaker
Are this dude's 15 minutes up yet?
00:04:13
Speaker
Why no name change, by the way?
00:04:15
Speaker
You're still Dylan?
00:04:17
Speaker
I guess it's a unisex name, whatever.
00:04:19
Speaker
First on the can of Bud Light, now Nike and Oil of Olay and Ulta Beauty and all that.
00:04:24
Speaker
You know it's a common theme in stand-up comedy that women are crazy.
00:04:28
Speaker
Trans men hold my light beer.
00:04:30
Speaker
He's a sissy.
00:04:32
Speaker
There, I said that.
00:04:33
Speaker
There, that should offend women and trans men.
00:04:36
Speaker
It's a twofer, except for the fact that women in pronation can take the joke and understand the underlying point.
00:04:44
Speaker
You see, I don't have a problem with any particular group or race or religion or sex or sexuality, etc.
00:04:51
Speaker
I certainly don't have hate.
00:04:53
Speaker
Hate for me is reserved for specific people that wronged me specifically.
00:05:00
Speaker
And even then, that hate is very short-lived because it's counterproductive to me living a happier life.
00:05:06
Speaker
As I've mentioned many times,
00:05:08
Speaker
Have sex with whomever you want, as long as it's between two consensual adults.
00:05:14
Speaker
I also think you're free to express your mental illness in whatever way you want, as long as it A, harms no one, B, doesn't disrupt the flow of society, that is, the flow of the pros, C, you don't expect the world to go along with it, and D, you expect special privileges.
00:05:31
Speaker
Thusly, I, and if I may be so bold to speak on behalf of Pro Nation, don't want to hear about it.
00:05:37
Speaker
Amen to that, brother.
00:05:40
Speaker
There are so many other things more important going on in the world of the United States and in your own personal life than your precious pronouns, gender, and sexuality.
Individual vs Group Behavior
00:05:53
Speaker
See, that's why I don't do that type of material in my stand-up comedy act.
00:05:57
Speaker
Groups.
00:05:58
Speaker
Don't aggravate me.
00:05:59
Speaker
Groups don't do anything to me.
00:06:01
Speaker
That is, except our current administration.
00:06:03
Speaker
Individual people piss me off.
00:06:06
Speaker
And I talk about those specific instances of the people who actually gave and or give me grief.
00:06:13
Speaker
An ex-girlfriend, a friend, a stranger who doesn't know how to drive, etc.
00:06:17
Speaker
As Ada Looch posted, I actually wish transgender women could get periods.
00:06:24
Speaker
That would end this movement within about 28 days.
00:06:28
Speaker
Next up, part two of this Bud Light campaign.
00:06:31
Speaker
You might have been asking, why did Anheuser-Busch even mess with it?
00:06:36
Speaker
Decades of funny and or clever ad campaigns.
00:06:39
Speaker
Answer, this nitwit in charge.
00:06:41
Speaker
From blazemedia.com, Bud Light VP stresses need to get beer brand in decline away from out-of-touch frat boy image to one of, here it comes, inclusivity.
00:06:55
Speaker
Now, right out of the gate, I have a problem with inclusivity used here because, as I said last week, of course, people of all races, cultures, shapes, sizes, ages, religions, and sexualities drink beer, probably even Bud Light.
00:07:08
Speaker
They always have.
00:07:09
Speaker
I'd like to think beer is one of those products that already included everyone.
00:07:14
Speaker
This isn't tampons where you only snag 50% of the market.
00:07:17
Speaker
And of that market, it's only for women of the ages where they're getting their periods.
00:07:22
Speaker
And if you think I'm going to include men in that group, you must be new to this podcast.
00:07:27
Speaker
But again, beer is for everyone.
00:07:30
Speaker
Back to the article.
00:07:31
Speaker
Shortly before Bud Light was besieged by the Dylan Mulvaney controversy, the beer company's vice president of marketing, Alyssa Heinerscheid, said there was the need to get away from the out-of-touch frat boy image to one of inclusivity.
00:07:45
Speaker
Why?
00:07:46
Speaker
Were Bud Light's sales plummeting?
00:07:48
Speaker
Of course not.
00:07:49
Speaker
Have you been to a bar or sporting event or backyard barbecue?
00:07:53
Speaker
She made the change because she, one person, felt...
00:07:58
Speaker
That way.
00:07:59
Speaker
She doesn't cite any stats or facts that show we're losing the gay population or we're losing another demographic of some kind or even overall sales are slumping.
00:08:08
Speaker
This is a busybody who had feelings and simply wanted to shake things up for the sake of shaking things up.
00:08:15
Speaker
And if there's one rule in commerce, it's if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
00:08:20
Speaker
She fixed it.
00:08:22
Speaker
Alyssa Gordon-Heinerscheid, the self-proclaimed first female to lead the largest beer brand in the industry...
00:08:28
Speaker
diversity hire, shared her disdain for Bud Light's previous frat boy image during a recent podcast.
00:08:36
Speaker
Heiner Scheid described Bud Light as a brand in decline for a really long time.
00:08:40
Speaker
Oh, please stop with the specifics.
00:08:43
Speaker
During a March 23rd episode of the Make Yourself at Home podcast.
00:08:48
Speaker
Again, stats please.
00:08:50
Speaker
Not to mention, as I listed in last week's episode, Anheuser-Busch produces 38 products.
00:08:56
Speaker
So I think they got a good handle on the market.
00:08:59
Speaker
If, if Bud Light is slumping, Anheuser-Busch buyers are probably buying something else in their lineup.
00:09:06
Speaker
And I get it.
00:09:08
Speaker
General Motors used to make Cadillac, Pontiac, Chevy, GMC.
00:09:13
Speaker
And General Motors, of course, wanted each division to do well.
00:09:17
Speaker
But someone, some brand, in that umbrella of car manufacturers has to be the best seller in GM's
00:09:25
Speaker
Brand of cars.
00:09:26
Speaker
Same situation here.
00:09:27
Speaker
But this woman has the fix.
00:09:29
Speaker
Hire a trans man so the frat boy image goes away, is removed.
00:09:35
Speaker
And boy, did she accomplish that.
00:09:36
Speaker
Frankly, anyone who drinks Bud Light who isn't a frat boy might take offense to that.
00:09:42
Speaker
Speaking of Bud Light, the article says, which is the most popular beer brand in the U.S. as of a 2019 report, I thought she just said it's in decline.
00:09:51
Speaker
For a really long time.
00:09:53
Speaker
Heinerscheid claimed, and if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for Bud Light.
00:10:03
Speaker
Ask anyone who's lived through any type of economic recession.
00:10:09
Speaker
Alcohol does not slump.
00:10:15
Speaker
It doesn't.
00:10:16
Speaker
Sometimes it even goes up.
00:10:20
Speaker
with 38 alcoholic beverages to choose from in the Anheuser-Busch lineup.
00:10:24
Speaker
Instead of ruining something that was already established, perhaps she could have met with the marketing people for the Rita's.
00:10:33
Speaker
Those are disgusting.
00:10:34
Speaker
No frat boy I know or have known would be caught dead drinking that piss.
00:10:38
Speaker
Okay, Louisa May, go play your ballerina ball.
00:10:41
Speaker
Just leave your penis in the bucket.
00:10:43
Speaker
So less than four years ago, Bud Light, a light beer,
00:10:47
Speaker
was the most popular beer brand in America.
00:10:50
Speaker
It's the same as how Diet Coke was even more popular than regular Coke.
00:10:55
Speaker
But she fixed it.
00:10:57
Speaker
The article says Heiner Scheid stressed a need to evolve and elevate the Bud Light brand because she feels it.
00:11:04
Speaker
She feels it.
00:11:07
Speaker
Man, I wish I had her job.
00:11:09
Speaker
All the job requires is leaving things alone.
00:11:14
Speaker
What does evolve and elevate mean?
00:11:17
Speaker
It means inclusivity, Heinerscheid declared.
00:11:21
Speaker
No, that's not what those words mean.
00:11:24
Speaker
Literally, not what they mean.
00:11:26
Speaker
She said it means shifting the tone.
00:11:29
Speaker
It means having a campaign that's truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different and appeals to women and to men.
00:11:36
Speaker
And representation is sort of the heart of revolution.
00:11:39
Speaker
Oh, A, what a pioneer.
00:11:42
Speaker
B, this new revolution has maligned men and dismissed them after decades of customer loyalty.
00:11:49
Speaker
What's the old saying?
00:11:50
Speaker
It takes years to build a reputation and one action can ruin it in an instant.
00:11:56
Speaker
I'd be very surprised if Heinerscheid got fired because she's a woman, despite the fact that she did actually the opposite of what her job requires.
00:12:06
Speaker
Help Bud Light make more money, sell more beer.
00:12:09
Speaker
The occasional dip in sales is normal based on the time of the year and what your competitors are doing.
00:12:14
Speaker
I get it.
00:12:14
Speaker
But when you make your parent company lose more than $6 billion in a couple weeks, yeah, I think you should be blackballed from any and all marketing jobs.
00:12:23
Speaker
That's not going to exactly look good on a resume.
00:12:27
Speaker
Anheuser-Busch?
00:12:29
Speaker
Fine, and how's your dick?
00:12:31
Speaker
Apparently, tucked back.
00:12:35
Speaker
Watch for amateur nation to spin it.
00:12:37
Speaker
See?
00:12:38
Speaker
Everyone is bigoted and prejudiced against trans people.
00:12:42
Speaker
Yeah, or, or, could it be the majority of pro nation is sick of having the transgender cult propaganda inserted everywhere in an effort to give attention to the mentally ill?
00:12:52
Speaker
Not to mention, there is such a thing as slapping the face of your fan base.
00:12:58
Speaker
Amateur Nation, and this includes our current administration, stay the fuck out of our lives.
00:13:05
Speaker
We want to be left alone.
00:13:10
Speaker
But since Amateur Nation never learns,
Privacy Concerns with Tesla
00:13:13
Speaker
this from Newsweek.com.
00:13:15
Speaker
Nike makes Dylan Mulvaney sports bra model days after Bud Light Fuhrer.
00:13:23
Speaker
I guess Nike's thought was, well, we're already...
00:13:27
Speaker
In the child slave shoemaking business, how can we screw this up further?
00:13:32
Speaker
Meet Nike women's newest ambassador, a biological man, wrote influencer Oli London, sharing Mulvaney's video clip of her wearing Nike's gear.
00:13:42
Speaker
Dylan Mulvaney is now being paid by Nike women to promote sports bras, even though he's a man.
00:13:48
Speaker
Another day, another company slapping all the women in the face by mocking them and paying a man to take their place, he wrote.
00:13:56
Speaker
Here's not a dumb question.
00:13:58
Speaker
Why does Dylan need a sports bra?
00:14:00
Speaker
He ain't got nothing up there.
00:14:02
Speaker
That's right.
00:14:02
Speaker
They're breasts.
00:14:04
Speaker
Big deal.
00:14:05
Speaker
Ah, it's all part of the playing pretend.
00:14:08
Speaker
So you want me to dress up like a girl and run around with pom-poms?
00:14:12
Speaker
Yes.
00:14:13
Speaker
It's not enough for these companies to merely drop their woke crap.
00:14:16
Speaker
The first company that has its CEO or president go on camera in a commercial and look into the lens and apologize gets my business back.
00:14:27
Speaker
And it better be good.
00:14:28
Speaker
No platitudes and double speak.
00:14:30
Speaker
And we're sorry for what happened.
00:14:33
Speaker
We're sorry we tried.
00:14:33
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:14:35
Speaker
I need to hear this.
00:14:36
Speaker
We screwed up.
00:14:38
Speaker
We apologize to our fan base.
00:14:41
Speaker
We're going to put things back the way it was.
00:14:43
Speaker
And we're going to get in the business of whatever it is that they sell or product or service that they push.
00:14:50
Speaker
That's the only way I go back.
00:14:51
Speaker
And now this.
00:14:53
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:14:56
Speaker
Got a Tesla?
00:14:57
Speaker
Keep your pants on.
00:14:59
Speaker
From redstate.com, here's your headline.
00:15:01
Speaker
Tesla accused of breaching customer privacy with secretly shared camera footage.
00:15:07
Speaker
The article says Reuters reported that between 2019 and 2022, groups of Tesla employees privately shared via an internal messaging system sometimes highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers' car cameras.
00:15:22
Speaker
The authors interviewed nine former Tesla employees who informed them that some of these recordings captured customers in embarrassing situations.
00:15:30
Speaker
In one instance, one of the former workers discussed footage of a man walking to the vehicle in the nude.
00:15:38
Speaker
There were more videos that surfaced among employees.
00:15:40
Speaker
From the report, also shared, crashes and road rage incidents.
00:15:45
Speaker
One crash video in 2021 showed a Tesla driving at high speed in a residential area, hitting a child that was riding a bike.
00:15:52
Speaker
According to another ex-employee, the child flew in one direction, the bike in another.
00:15:57
Speaker
The video spread around a Tesla office in San Mateo, California via private one-on-one chats like wildfire, the ex-employee said.
00:16:06
Speaker
Other images were more mundane, such as pictures of dogs and funny road signs that employees made into memes by embellishing them with amusing captions or commentary before posting them in private group chats.
00:16:18
Speaker
The article says in its customer privacy notice, Tesla notes that its camera recordings remain anonymous and are not linked to you or your vehicle.
00:16:30
Speaker
That could be one of the most insulting, intelligence-insulting statements I've read in a long time.
00:16:36
Speaker
The article continues, but the employees Reuters interviewed say this is not accurate.
00:16:42
Speaker
The news outlet eventually interviewed about 300 former Tesla employees about the matter.
00:16:48
Speaker
One individual said, we could see inside people's garages and their private properties.
00:16:52
Speaker
Let's say that a Tesla customer had something in their garage that was distinctive.
00:16:56
Speaker
You know, people would post those kinds of things.
00:16:59
Speaker
In another instance, the company found out that customers were having problems with Teslas on autopilot not functioning properly.
00:17:06
Speaker
Two former employees said they were asked to monitor images of customers around their homes.
00:17:13
Speaker
One of the workers said, I sometimes wondered if these people know that we're seeing that.
00:17:19
Speaker
I saw some scandalous stuff sometimes, you know, like I did see scenes of intimacy, but not nudity, another said, which I'm not buying that.
00:17:26
Speaker
And there was just definitely a lot of stuff like that I wouldn't want anybody to see about my life.
00:17:34
Speaker
A former employee said it was a breach of privacy, to be honest, and I always joke that I would never buy a Tesla after seeing how they treated some of these people.
00:17:42
Speaker
Another told Reuters, I'm bothered by it because the people who buy the car, I don't think they know that their privacy is like not respected.
00:17:51
Speaker
We could see them doing laundry and really intimate things.
00:17:54
Speaker
We could see their kids.
00:17:57
Speaker
One of the former Tesla employees told Reuters that sharing these images was commonly done for fun.
00:18:02
Speaker
According to several ex-employees, some labelers shared screenshots, sometimes marked up using Adobe Photoshop, in private group chats on Mattermost, Tesla's internal messaging system.
00:18:14
Speaker
There, they would attract responses from other workers and managers.
00:18:18
Speaker
Participants would also add their own marked up images, jokes, or emojis to keep the conversation going.
00:18:24
Speaker
Some of the emojis were custom created to reference office inside jokes, several ex-employees said.
00:18:29
Speaker
Another said sharing the images was a way to break the monotony.
00:18:33
Speaker
Oh, I'm sorry, is your job not exciting and rewarding enough working at a company at the forefront of automobile technology?
00:18:39
Speaker
Fired.
00:18:42
Speaker
The article continues saying that a California man has filed a lawsuit against Tesla over the privacy issue.
00:18:48
Speaker
The suit alleges that the cameras in the company's vehicles captured highly invasive videos and images of the car's owners, which Tesla employees were able to access.
00:18:58
Speaker
not for the stated purposes of communication, fulfillment of services, and enhancement of Tesla vehicle driving systems, but for the tasteless and tortuous entertainment of Tesla employees, and perhaps those outside the company, and the humiliation of those surreptitiously recorded.
00:19:17
Speaker
That such videos and images were made available to Tesla employees to view and share at will, and for improper purposes, affects each and every person with a Tesla vehicle, their families, passengers, and even guests in their homes, the filing reads.
00:19:35
Speaker
So far, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has not commented on the Reuters report, but with concerns over privacy becoming more commonplace, this story will likely gain more traction, especially if more evidence of privacy violations come to light.
00:19:49

Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:20:28
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:20:30
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:20:32
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:20:34
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:20:37
Speaker
Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Social Commentary and Interviews
00:22:18
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:22:19
Speaker
Hit me!
00:22:22
Speaker
It's time for Amateur Nation on the Street in these Man in the Street type interviews via PragerU.
00:22:28
Speaker
First up, should trans athletes be allowed in the Olympics?
00:22:33
Speaker
Do you think that transgender athletes should be competing in the Olympics in their transition gender?
00:22:38
Speaker
I think that they definitely should.
00:22:39
Speaker
I honestly think that it's worth a road test.
00:22:42
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:22:44
Speaker
I say let them in and let's see how it goes.
00:22:46
Speaker
It's the Olympics.
00:22:47
Speaker
Wrong!
00:22:48
Speaker
That's wrong!
00:22:50
Speaker
Funny how an amateur nation, it's always okay when it's other people's money, other people's ambition, other people's work, other people's endeavors.
00:22:59
Speaker
And her comment, well, come on, it's the Olympics.
00:23:02
Speaker
Does she not get that the Olympics is the pinnacle of athletic achievement?
00:23:06
Speaker
You're representing your country.
00:23:08
Speaker
You're not getting paid.
00:23:11
Speaker
She says it like, well, it's practice.
00:23:12
Speaker
It's not for realsies.
00:23:13
Speaker
If you have hormones that give you more strength and more agility, that is a problem.
00:23:19
Speaker
You should have one.
00:23:21
Speaker
a class of those people doing their thing let's see who's the strongest of the transgenders are there's a girl in connecticut who was one of the top runners in the state uh and then three guys basically they transitioned became women and they beat her in the final race of the year for her track and then she missed out on scholarships because they transitioned and beat her because they were you know men run faster than women on average and they beat her that's manipulating the system to get ahead
00:23:50
Speaker
Next up, this audio from a video posted by KingCobraHustlers on Instagram, where the interviewer asks random people during a huge demonstration of thousands of people happening in the Netherlands.
00:24:04
Speaker
All of them are marching and shouting and, of course, brandishing picket signs reading, Refugees, Welcome!
00:24:11
Speaker
The interviewer is asking these protesters to sign something stating that a refugee can stay in their house.
00:24:19
Speaker
In their houses.
00:24:21
Speaker
The answers will not surprise you.
00:24:24
Speaker
Here's a hint.
00:24:25
Speaker
Wait a minute.
00:24:26
Speaker
Let me see how many fucks I give.
00:24:27
Speaker
Oh, that's right.
00:24:30
Speaker
Zero.
00:24:30
Speaker
Go ahead, play the clip.
00:24:31
Speaker
I can't say that refugees welcome here.
00:24:33
Speaker
I was just wondering if you'd like to go down on a list saying you're willing to take the refugees into your home.
00:24:38
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:24:39
Speaker
The only problem is I rent.
00:24:40
Speaker
Just because you've got that refugees welcome here, I'm just wondering if you'd like to go on a list of people that's willing to actually adopt a refugee and take them into your home.
00:24:47
Speaker
Well, if I had any space, I would.
00:24:49
Speaker
If you had any space.
00:24:50
Speaker
It wouldn't be.
00:24:50
Speaker
All right.
00:24:51
Speaker
Rental.
00:24:51
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:52
Speaker
You can't do it.
00:24:53
Speaker
It's someone else's job.
00:24:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:54
Speaker
All right.
00:24:55
Speaker
Thank you.
00:24:57
Speaker
to adopt a refugee and take them into your home?
00:24:59
Speaker
No, I'm sorry, I can't.
00:25:00
Speaker
You can't take one?
00:25:01
Speaker
I don't have, I don't have, I don't have, I don't have the space.
00:25:03
Speaker
You're going to have a refugee stay at your house?
00:25:06
Speaker
Yeah, I don't mind.
00:25:06
Speaker
You're going to go on the list?
00:25:08
Speaker
I don't mind, yeah, I can't do it, give me the other thing.
00:25:10
Speaker
Oh wait, I can't, because my house is only little small and then... Amazing, that's what I was waiting for, thank you darling.
00:25:15
Speaker
Excuse me, my love, will you go on my list of people that's willing to adopt a refugee?
00:25:19
Speaker
No thank you.
00:25:19
Speaker
No thank you.
00:25:20
Speaker
Excuse me, would you be willing to adopt a refugee into your home?
00:25:24
Speaker
Er...
00:25:25
Speaker
No.
00:25:27
Speaker
Would you adopt a refugee into your home?
00:25:29
Speaker
No, thank you.
00:25:30
Speaker
No?
00:25:32
Speaker
So where should we put them then?
00:25:33
Speaker
Sorry?
00:25:34
Speaker
Where should we put them?
00:25:36
Speaker
Sorry, I'm probably... Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.
00:25:38
Speaker
Excuse me, sir.
00:25:40
Speaker
Would you be willing to adopt a refugee?
00:25:43
Speaker
Erm... I would be willing, yeah, if I had the space.
00:25:46
Speaker
If you had the space.
00:25:47
Speaker
So where should we put them then?
00:25:51
Speaker
Where should we put them?
00:25:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:53
Speaker
Er... There's a...
00:25:54
Speaker
Coughing!
00:25:55
Speaker
Wait, what are we doing?
00:26:05
Speaker
Alright, let's lighten things up a little bit.
00:26:06
Speaker
Some bite-sized appetizers here.
00:26:08
Speaker
It's time for a la carte.
00:26:10
Speaker
What the hell is going on?
00:26:12
Speaker
It's never normal for a grown man to ask a child to suck on his tongue.
00:26:17
Speaker
Especially a holy man.
00:26:18
Speaker
Apparently, that needed to be clarified.
00:26:22
Speaker
Regarding Trump's indictment, formerly but always drunk Speaker of the House Nancy, my eyebrows now start behind my head, Pelosi said, everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence.
00:26:35
Speaker
Oh, so close.
00:26:36
Speaker
Got the basic principle of our court system backwards, kinda.
00:26:39
Speaker
Maybe a little, just a tiny bit.
00:26:41
Speaker
Meant to say innocent until proven guilty.
00:26:44
Speaker
Got the whole tenet of our rights as citizens wrong.
00:26:47
Speaker
See what I'm doing here?
00:26:48
Speaker
Stewie on Family Guy.
00:26:50
Speaker
Yeah, Pelosi.
00:26:51
Speaker
Yo!
00:26:52
Speaker
I overheard someone say, is there anything better than the sound of children's laughter?
00:26:58
Speaker
Uh, yeah, quiet children, and several dozen other things.
00:27:03
Speaker
I mean, kids' laughter is great, but have you heard Top Fuel?
00:27:07
Speaker
A crunchy buzzsaw metal guitar riff?
00:27:10
Speaker
The sound of a woman being pleasured?
00:27:12
Speaker
Not that I'd know, but still.
00:27:15
Speaker
From Sal O'Fallon on conservative angry Americans via Facebook, this great quote.
00:27:22
Speaker
They took a real black woman off of a syrup bottle and put a fake white woman on beer cans.
00:27:30
Speaker
Here's a headline that should instill confidence in this administration.
00:27:33
Speaker
Security fears mount after top secret Biden-Belfast visit plan found in street.
00:27:38
Speaker
How does a man lose track of the back of his own head?
00:27:41
Speaker
Add this to the list of, if Trump did this, all hell would break loose.
00:27:45
Speaker
And you know I'm right, amateur nation.
00:27:47
Speaker
You're pathetic.
00:27:50
Speaker
All right, it's time for three pro things, three things that are done right in this
California Homelessness Issue
00:27:54
Speaker
world.
00:27:54
Speaker
Let's get to it.
00:27:55
Speaker
Number one.
00:27:58
Speaker
As someone who lived in California for 24 years, I witnessed the rapid decline in the quality of life firsthand.
00:28:04
Speaker
I mean, the filth, the crime, the degradation, the squatters, the drug users disguised as homeless.
00:28:10
Speaker
I've often said on this show, it's mental illness and drug abuse disguised as homelessness.
00:28:15
Speaker
Now, this man, whose name I simply don't know or have, speaks on California.insider on Instagram and nails it with this truth bomb.
00:28:23
Speaker
I think the most dishonest labels is calling the crisis a homeless crisis.
00:28:27
Speaker
Homeless to me implies you want to actually have a home.
00:28:29
Speaker
We're really dealing with here is a drug abuse and mental illness issue on a scale we've never seen before.
00:28:37
Speaker
But our public officials want to call it homelessness and the solution is to throw a lot of money at or ideology they call housing first.
00:28:45
Speaker
We're seeing unit costs between seven to eight hundred thousand dollars per
00:28:49
Speaker
unit that doesn't even have a kitchen.
00:28:50
Speaker
This whole idea that they're going to build their way out of it is insane.
00:28:54
Speaker
But it's also the kind of this lack of personal accountability.
00:28:57
Speaker
We're going to give you a close to a million dollar beach condo without asking you to go to rehab, without asking you to take even the smallest step towards recovery.
00:29:06
Speaker
It doesn't seem like in California any of our elected officials or the sort of influencers and powers that be want anyone to actually get better.
00:29:12
Speaker
They just want to throw more money at it.
00:29:14
Speaker
If you can't even talk about what the cause of the problem is, if you can't mention the drug addiction and the mental illness going untreated, how are you ever going to fix the problem?
00:29:21
Speaker
California is just not a safe place.
00:29:24
Speaker
Number two.
Honoring Service Members
00:29:34
Speaker
As I mentioned in the fans' first shout-out at the beginning of this episode, one of the pro things was brought to my attention by a gentleman I worked with when I worked on Northeast Ohio Radio by the name of Joe Molnar.
00:29:46
Speaker
So he heard the show.
00:29:47
Speaker
He loves it.
00:29:49
Speaker
And after we reconnected for a while by phone, he told me of how he now works...
00:29:53
Speaker
With an organization called Honor and Remember, with the very simple mission to publicly honor and remember every American fallen service member and recognize the enduring sacrifice of every family.
00:30:06
Speaker
Now, I'll paraphrase from their website, but the origins tell how on December 29th, 2005, George Anthony Lutz II was killed by a sniper's bullet while he was on patrol in Fallujah, Iraq.
00:30:19
Speaker
In the months that followed Tony's funeral, his father, George, visited other families who had lost loved ones in the Iraq War.
00:30:27
Speaker
He began to sense that he had joined the ranks of a unique fellowship.
00:30:30
Speaker
George found another commonality among the families of fallen soldiers.
00:30:34
Speaker
After their grief had transitioned to numbness and finally to acceptance, many families wanted to know two things.
00:30:40
Speaker
Their sacrifice was not in vain, and the nation would never forget.
00:30:45
Speaker
These concerns led George on a quest to discover if there was a universally recognized symbol that specifically acknowledges the American servicemen and women who never made it home.
00:30:55
Speaker
To his surprise, he found nothing.
00:30:58
Speaker
Thus, the honor and remember flag was conceived.
00:31:03
Speaker
The organization does flag presentations to families of the fallen that has the name of the fallen service member imprinted on the flag as well as their time served for America.
00:31:16
Speaker
You can buy a flag, request a flag, and sponsor a flag.
00:31:20
Speaker
There are other ways to get involved where you can have an impact as well.
00:31:23
Speaker
You can also sign a petition to establish a national remembrance flag.
00:31:28
Speaker
Some major national and worldwide sponsors have backed Honor and Remember.
00:31:32
Speaker
26 states have adopted legislation to establish Honor and Remember as our nation's official public symbol of remembrance.
00:31:42
Speaker
You can volunteer and or sponsor this 501c3 nonprofit organization at honorandremember.org.
00:31:52

Viral Story of Ohio Bus Driver
00:31:59
Speaker
And now the inspiration for the title of this episode.
00:32:03
Speaker
By now you've heard about the Ohio bus driver who simply had enough from the amateur children she was driving.
00:32:08
Speaker
And well, here's the article from Cleveland.com.
00:32:12
Speaker
Former Amherst, Ohio school bus driver, Jackie Miller had finally had enough.
00:32:17
Speaker
The 68 year old resigned from her job as a bus driver for Amherst exempted village schools.
00:32:22
Speaker
After a two minute video of her yelling at her junior high bus riders went viral.
00:32:27
Speaker
Miller's rant was the result of students spraying perfume inside the bus, which she says she's allergic to and blames for causing an asthma attack she suffered just one month before this incident on March 29th.
00:32:40
Speaker
Please play one of my favorite audio clips I've ever played.
00:32:43
Speaker
The bus driver.
00:32:44
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:32:50
Speaker
Give me the perfume.
00:32:52
Speaker
No!
00:32:53
Speaker
No, I didn't.
00:32:54
Speaker
I didn't do anything.
00:32:55
Speaker
I can freaking smell it.
00:32:57
Speaker
I didn't do anything.
00:32:58
Speaker
I didn't spray anything.
00:33:01
Speaker
I'm sick of you.
00:33:02
Speaker
I'm sick of all of this.
00:33:05
Speaker
I'm done with it.
00:33:06
Speaker
I'm going to start kicking some serious.
00:33:09
Speaker
Do you hear me?
00:33:11
Speaker
Yes.
00:33:11
Speaker
My foot's going to be so far up your.
00:33:14
Speaker
It's going to dangle out your nose.
00:33:17
Speaker
I'm done with you.
00:33:18
Speaker
That phone in your bag.
00:33:20
Speaker
Now you give it to me.
00:33:21
Speaker
All right, fine.
00:33:23
Speaker
Done.
00:33:26
Speaker
God dang it.
00:33:26
Speaker
I can smell it.
00:33:28
Speaker
I didn't spray anything.
00:33:29
Speaker
I'm allergic to the.
00:33:31
Speaker
Open a backpack.
00:33:32
Speaker
I didn't spray anything.
00:33:34
Speaker
It's right in the big backpack.
00:33:36
Speaker
It's in the big.
00:33:37
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:33:37
Speaker
You like to start too.
00:33:40
Speaker
You're no innocent.
00:33:41
Speaker
You're no innocent angel here.
00:33:43
Speaker
I'm done with this.
00:33:47
Speaker
Done.
00:33:49
Speaker
I've had my fill.
00:33:50
Speaker
I'm done with it.
00:33:52
Speaker
I'm ready.
00:33:53
Speaker
Walk off this bus right now and let you people walk home.
00:33:58
Speaker
How much more do you think anybody can freaking take?
00:34:02
Speaker
Shut your mouth.
00:34:04
Speaker
I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth.
00:34:07
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:10
Speaker
Excuse me.
00:34:12
Speaker
What did I just tell you?
00:34:17
Speaker
You think it's funny?
00:34:19
Speaker
You think it's funny?
00:34:20
Speaker
You're over.
00:34:22
Speaker
No, you didn't.
00:34:23
Speaker
You're so full of.
00:34:25
Speaker
You're as bad as he is.
00:34:28
Speaker
Done.
00:34:29
Speaker
Done.
00:34:30
Speaker
Not another word on any of
00:34:47
Speaker
The article says Miller resigned after the video went viral but soon received support in the form of a GoFundMe fundraiser.
00:34:53
Speaker
The fundraiser, organized by Vermilion resident Jeff Grob, has currently exceeded more than $108,000 in donations to support Miller in her retirement and for a vacation.
00:35:06
Speaker
This fundraiser is to help her pay for some time off and for all the years of loyal, dedicated service that GoFundMe page reads.
00:35:12
Speaker
We applaud her for tolerating as much as she has and are on her team.
00:35:17
Speaker
Hashtag team bus driver.
00:35:20
Speaker
And of course, the article says, however, support from Miller wasn't universal.
00:35:25
Speaker
The behavior exhibited by the bus driver is unacceptable and will not be tolerated, said Mike Molnar, superintendent for Amherst Exempted Village's school district.
00:35:34
Speaker
And there's a boss who doesn't have his employees' backs.
00:35:37
Speaker
I used to have a penis.
00:35:38
Speaker
I mean, seriously, you have a 68-year-old woman.
00:35:40
Speaker
She's by definition a senior citizen, right?
00:35:44
Speaker
She's driving, she's in charge of how many dozen young lives on a bus?
00:35:50
Speaker
I'm sure she doesn't ask for a lot.
00:35:52
Speaker
Just, hey, I have asthma.
00:35:53
Speaker
Stop spraying perfume.
00:35:54
Speaker
And they wouldn't.
00:35:55
Speaker
So she flipped and she should have.
00:35:57
Speaker
And I'm glad she did.
00:35:58
Speaker
The article says Miller has since apologized for her actions, but also made clear she wouldn't change much about how she acted.
00:36:04
Speaker
She said, here's the thing.
00:36:05
Speaker
I deeply regret talking to these kids that way from the bottom of my heart.
00:36:09
Speaker
But here's the other thing.
00:36:10
Speaker
I won't take back a word of it.
00:36:14
Speaker
She said,
00:36:35
Speaker
She said she hopes to drive a bus again, but this time not with children, although it was her favorite job.
00:36:40
Speaker
She added that she saw the good in all of the kids, even the disruptive ones.
00:36:46
Speaker
She said she is humbled by the support she has received from the community, the GoFundMe fundraiser, and more.
00:36:51
Speaker
One woman even offered her vacation home on the coast of Maine for a week in June, according to Miller.
